Dental sealants are a staple for caries prevention but little has been done to update or upgrade their physical characteristics. In addition, they often appear to be deceptively simple to use and place. In reality, many of the complex bonding parameters influencing direct composite resin restorations affect the retention and longevity of pit and fissure dental sealants. This CE webinar will review evidence of dental sealant use and describe the critical parameters for long-term sealant retention. A newly developed technology will also be described as a novel and effective platform for promoting sustained enamel remineralization from a pit and fissure dental resin based dental sealant.

Prepping a crown with a bur spinning near 400,000 RPMs can be rather daunting. But do we as dentists really understand how to properly use and benefit from the burs we select? This CE webinar will offer a straightforward approach to preparing teeth that is predictable while maximizing the cost effectiveness of diamond burs. Current ceramic restorative materials and their distinctions will also be reviewed.

In this CE webinar we will review the 2016 ADA/AAPD clinical practice guideline for the use of dental sealants as well as science-based literature on pit and fissure sealants. You will learn about the scientific evidence that supports the use, safety and benefits of sealants along with the latest technological advancements.

Whether taking a conventional impression, digital scan, or placing a direct composite precise capture of the margin is totally dependent on isolating and exposing the margin. This CE webinar will enable clinicians to develop a more confident and consistent approach using a combination of current tissue management strategies that are predictable and tissue-friendly.

Research shows that over 40 million dental impression are made every year, of which 90% do not precisely capture the margin. Whether taking a conventional impression or digital scan, precise capture of the margin is totally dependent on the impression technique and tissue management. This CE webinar will enable clinicians to develop a more confident and consistent approach in achieving refined impressions that expose margins and help to avoid remakes.

In this CE webinar you will learn about the scientific evidence that supports the use, safety and benefits of sealants. We will review the 2016 ADA/AAPD clinical practice guideline for the use of dental sealants as well as science-based literature on pit and fissure sealants.

The digital revolution is here and influencing many aspects of our daily dental practices. This concise CE webinar is packed with clinical examples and ideas to help you develop a systematic approach for every indirect procedure from start to finish - digital preparation design and impression tips to temporization and delivery of a highly-polished, accurate final restoration. Discussion will specifically revolve around how to incorporate digital scanning into your workflow without the milling process.

How do you treat patients who present with Xerostomia? This CE webinar we will review the prevalence of patients experiencing complications and discomfort from reduced, natural salivary flow. We will also discuss a novel approach to soothing/moisturizing dry mouth tissues, treating sensitivity, and helping to prevent caries and gingivitis.

During this CE webinar, we will cover the indications for fluoride gel treatment, and what triggers “medical necessity” for fluoride treatment. While many patients can benefit from fluoride treatment, medical billing does not apply to every scenario. Dentists, and sales representatives will need to understand what triggers necessity, and how to navigate the world of co-pays and deductibles in order to successfully treatment plan towards a medical insurance covered claim. Once we have determined who is a good candidate, we will learn how to properly use each product and the basic options for submitting a claim. In addition, we will discuss the potential revenue associated with medical billing and how this benefits the patient and the practice.

Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will have learned
• choosing the right grit for the desired result
• efficient polishing techniques
• polishing vs glazing - grits or donuts
• the influence of material hardness
• controlling final gloss level
